Re: How to repair wall tile crack without removing the tile?

Hello @jado 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's marvellous to have you join us, and thank you for sharing your question about repairing a crack in your wall tile.

 

If you are after a cosmetic repair, I suggest using Selleys 450g Dulux Tranquil Retreat No More Gaps Interior Colours Gap Filler in combination with Pro Renovator 38mm Plastic Scraper

 

The general steps of repair are to wipe the surface of the crack with isopropyl alcohol and applying a thin bead of the gap filler. You then use the plastic scraper to force the filler into the gap while wiping away the excess filler. Make sure to give the filler enough time to cure so that the product will settle into the gap.

 

Please note that this is a temporary cosmetic fix, I strongly recommend that you try and find a similar looking tile so that you can properly repair it.

 

Please remember to wear personal protection such as gloves, goggles and a mask when filling the gap.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.
